Question

How do i turn 80% 0f 86- i know the answer but i don't know how to do it

Can someone please teach me

Answer 1

68.8

Explanation:

Let x be 80% of 86.

To find 80% of 86

`(80)/(100) = (x)/(86)`

`80 * 86 = 100x`

`6880 = 100x`

`68.8 = x`

Or you can simply do it as:

`86 * 80\%`

`86 * (80)/(100)`

`(86 * 80)/(100)`

`(6880)/(100)`

`68.8`

Answer 2

We know that of refers to multiplication (from BODMAS)

% means per hundred, i.e., 1/100

So, 80% of 86 is:

(80/100) × 86

or (4/5) × 86

or 4 × 17.2

or 68.8

Hope you understand
